Salt is salt is salt; it is either sodium chloride or it isn't. Sea salt has different impurities than the salt in the store (iodine and anticaking agent) but basically, so what? I'm not aware that the stuff in the store is bad for you, and I've never seen someone point at an impurity of sea salt and say "that's good for you!" It's good at getting more money out of your pocket, that is all.

Is sea salt better for you than regular table salt?

Sea salt is no better, and no worse than regular table salt. The difference is that they are collected in a different manner, contain different minerals, and table salt has added iodine (of which most people get enough from other foods). The taste is slightly different, some say more "subtle" than table salt. But nutritionally, there is no difference. They're both pure sodium chloride.
